Smelting and Dealting in a Relationship

At some point in a relationship– farting has to be discussed.

When I have to fart and feel the timing is right– I announce that I have to fart. Then I fart. And 99% of the time the gf laughs when I do. I often ask her to fart because I think farts are funny– but she has yet to fart upon request. She once blasted an atomic fart in her sleep and woke herself up and was mortified by the idea that she trumpeted full blast in bed. (although I wasn’t there to hear it).

I don’t mind really that she’s shy about her farting– I guess most chicks aren’t all super farty proud by nature.

But often on the couch when we’re watching TV– occasionally there will be a fart cloud appearance that isn’t mine. I’ll accuse her of farting and then she’ll always accuse one of the dogs of the farting. I’m not going to say she’s lying about her farts– but sometimes there’s no dog in the room. Nuff said.

I think sometimes in relationships the fart lines are drawn early on… If a girl is grossed out by farting, a dude can’t be all blasting farts in her face all day. Or if he’s the type of guy that thinks it’s unladylike to blast a fart– perhaps she will be extra shy about it. I’m sure there are some very happy relationships where the couple blasts farts at each other at reckless abandon non-stop. Perhaps they even play a game of tag with their farts. If that seems unappealing– then that relationship isn’t for you. And I’m sure there are other relationships where farting in each others company is forbidden. Although I feel the level of overall comfort in fartless relationships will skew lower.

But regardless of the level of farting in a relationship I have to assume it’s a good sign when farts are put on the table in general. As a topic of discussion. Putting out fart feelers and stuff. And although my gf is shy about her farts– it is up to her how she wants to handle them (or who she wants to blame)– as they are hers to be dealt in the best way she sees fit and what is most comfortable for her. Of course, my level of openly farting is much higher. But I still feel the need to at least announce that I plan to fart. Out of respect. There’s something nice about that I think. It also helps that she thinks they’re funny– because if not managed properly they can become unfunny and an unwelcome presence.

However, it is a stretch to blame a dog that isn’t even in the room. Might as well blame some beaned up ghost. But who knows. Roscoe has blasted from the other room and its contaminated the entire apartment. But I think for me no matter who farts I think it’s funny– but I think they’re something to be discussed openly because regardless of who is doing the farting at some point funnywise there is a law of diminshing returns.

In the end, it probably is just a question of timing. Like midfight or midmakeout a fart will never go over well. And overfarting eventually hits a wall. But if you can find the right balance of farting in a relationship– I think it’s probably a good thing.

ok bye!

I seldom LOL, but I LOLed for that.

Also, I think the measure of true love is if your GF is OK about you blogging her sleep-farts. She is a keeper.

Val Gal says:

When did the gf happen? I missed this.

Beermary says:

If you have enough advanced warning of your fart to announce it, then why not leave the room when that is doable? That’s what I always do, but it’s the worst when you get an “unexpected trumpet”. If I had stayed in the room with the bf, we could make a joke of it. But if I’ve left the room, then he has to pretend he didn’t hear it and it just makes it worse.

Nicol says:

Farting on the toilet is the worst. That echo is pretty loud. I don’t have a boyfriend, so I don’t have to worry about it.

Liar says:

I play fart games with my imaginary girlfriends too. I always win

I give my girl cleveland steamers all the time

I couldn’t resist Ploppy’s hand-typed Tourrette’s. Perhaps he had a bit of the wobbly eggs?

Mr Bill says:

Girlfriend? I HAVE been gone a long time.

Just don’t fart when she’s “down there” or it will be for the last time. That is true in reverse as well, ladies.

Anonymous says:

Down where? I’m confused.

Sam says:

“Down There” = Mexico

long time listener says:

yeah… when the heck was the girlfriend added? not that is should be weird but it was just slipped in here like we SHOULD have known all along. Like, “yeah yeah, I told you about her like 6 months ago. We talked about this”. But no, you owe it to her to introduce us properly…

wow Todd you got a gf??! coolio cool!! HAVE FUN!

Is your gf Ginger… as in the board personality not the hair color?

i bet it’s the same girl that’s done some voice acting in a few of the cartoons

Lorelei says:

Hilarious post! I’m still wipin fart-laughter tears outta my eyes. I’m from a large, bawdy Irish family, so any fart repression was out the window from birth. The fart barrier was broken between me and my boyfriend wayyy early in our relationship, as we both don’t assume our sh*t don’t stink, that everybody poops, honesty is a wonderful bonding-thing, and that HELLS YEAH farts are funny.

Amy says:

tOdd mentioned he had a girl last month in his new year post

Val Gal says:

Oh, thanks Amy! I’ll look that up. Appreciate you.

Willy says:

how the gf will feel about being introduced to world as a liar fart girl but oh well

Will you post a picture todd?

Sh!tForBra!ns says:

New Contest Idea: Guess how many times the word “fart” or a derivitive appeared in this What’s Happening. No going back to count. It’s like the Change Jar Contest.

Winner gets the empty change jar- filled with the fart of your choice. Kind of a one-time gift for that special someone.

My guess is 115.

Todd is really a 19 year old in disguise.

Why would it matter if he fats when shes in Mexico? Wouldn’t it be better if he did then???

Joby says:

How old is tOdd he must be like 40

Joby says:

What is that cut and paste in this thread??

WTF?!?!? says:

I just took a dump so big it has a “to be continued…” sign on the end!

WTF?!?!?!?!? says:

I just posted my last “big dump” post. I’ve officially been beating the shit out of this tired joke so long that I apparently wore out my welcome.

Not that I had one to begin with.

Farts are the barometer of intimacy and acceptance. Breach the fart barrier, and you both become human to each other. Occasionally, if I am feeling wicked, after a fart, I will attack my husband with the covers, locking him in there with my evil cloud. He thinks it is hilarious.

Earp says:

tODD– You’re overthinking this BIG time. So much fart drama! Simple rule–

Never fart around a woman you feel romantic feelings for but haven’t f–ked.

If you are sexually active with her and she’s still a drama queen about it then DUMP HER. If she can’t handle your farts she sure won’t be able to handle anything much at all you do that is less than perfect behavior.

Concerned Parent says:

I am not sure this is the best way to present your girlfriend to the genaral public, tODD.Maybe rethink this blogpost????

WTF?!?!??!? says:

Stick your head in a running blender, pinhead

Concerned Pervert says:

Well, Concerned Parent, I guess the existence of Todd’s girlfriend means that you owe him an apology for that “Gay steambath” remark of yours a few What’s Happenings ago.

A big, wet, sloppy, on-your-knees blowjob of an apology.

Socrates says:

If a man farts in the forest and there’s nobody else around, does it still smell?

MsM says:

When I was younger and sleeping with my husband, I apparently farted in my sleep. He woke me up with his laughter. He said he didn’t know women farted. I thought, I MARRIED HIM?

lynn says:

Words to live by, Todd. Great post.

Pookie says:

Lol T! Not sure when the air biscuts became something we could both giggle about, but it does take us girls a little more time to umm.. let loose. ;-P

I agree though that there is a limit as to how many are too much. More than 2 in a couple of hours together is abuse of the fart card.

JT says:

Not sure how accurate Todd’s drawings are but looking at them, his gf is quite pretty! Oddly though, her dogs look like her!!! Maybe that makes it easier to “blame the dogs”???

JB says:

My boyfriend farts so many times a day and during the night..and they sound so powerful and loud like he is going to propel to another planet!! Enormously loud Dizzy Golespie stlye. The kicker is they never stink!! I don’t know if it because just a health eater and athlete ow what??

Krankor says:

My farts smell like a cross between a garbage truck and a corpse. Plus, I’m a very farty person.

Leslie Nelson carried a little fart machine with him at all times and always pulled the trigger in crowded elevators, and pretended that nothing happened. We miss you, Leslie!

Such an enjoyable read, and fantastic comments

Dana says:

My parents fart tag all the time, and will sit on each other and fart or fart in the other one’s face while they’re eating something on the couch, it’s prettttty disgusting. My boyfriend has let a few farts out in front of me and acts kind of embarassed but he doesn’t care too much, I don’t think. I’ve accidentally farted a bunch of times in front of him and I’m always realllllllllllly embarrased. But I full blown trumpet fart when it’s just me and my fam.
